Eagle Shrine

The Eagle Shrine has been associated with this area since before the Edo period, and in the Edo period, it was named the Eagle Damyo Shrine, and the Eagle Daimyojin was worshipped as a guardian deity that invites good luck and receives good luck, and the god is worshipped as it is said to be the Daimyojin. The Eagle Daimyojin is said to be the Eagle of the Sun and has been revered since ancient times as a new god for good luck and business prosperity. It originated during the reign of Emperor Kageyuki, when the Japanese warrior Japan stopped by the Washi Daimyo Shrine (Tori Shrine) to pray for victory in battle, and on the way back to the shrine with his aspirations, he put a "rake" of armor on the pine tree in front of the shrine to celebrate the victory and pay his respects. Since that day was Rooster Day in November, this day was designated as an annual holiday at the Eagle Shrine, which is the origin and origin of the "Rooster Festival" or "Rooster Market". Subsequently, the Japan samurai festival was also held, and the Asakusa "Rooster Festival" and "Rooster Market" gradually became more and more crowded, and the lucky rake sold at the rooster market became more and more popular every year, adding more and more grandeur as an event to welcome spring (New Year) for the common people of Edo. In particular, it was crowded with the prosperity of the Yoshiwara Playground, and was also called "Yoshiwara's Decoy". The "Eagle Daimyojin" Tennichi Eagle Life, which has been worshipped since the Edo period, is called "Eagle Daimyojin / Otori-sama" because of the appearance of riding on the back of an eagle, and has been enshrined in the Eagle Shrine for more than 300 years, protecting against numerous fires in Edo, the Great Kanto Earthquake, and the war vortex of World War II. The Heavenly Eagle Life is described in the "Toto Toshijiki" as "the guardian god of good luck", and is deeply believed as a god of good luck, strong luck, business prosperity, and martial luck along with Japan martial sons.
